Author: Richard Webb

Richard Webb has been active for more than 20 years in both professional aviation and canopy sports. He is a former F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 SuperHornet fighter pilot... yes, the ones you land on aircraft carriers. He holds an Aeronautical Engineering degree and multiple Flight Instructor certificates in Airplanes and Helicopters. With steady progression and extensive global exploration in the basejumping community, Richard has used his aviation and educational background as a springboard to develop a ‘smarter, not harder’ methodology to wingsuit basejumping. His deliberate use of the scientific method has enabled a prolific chapter of new and technical wingsuit exits in the American Southwest in recent years.
